A reader who trekked from the Washington area down to the McCain-Palin rally in Virginia Beach sends in the above pic and writes, per my earlier post, "See, there are people who support McCain because of his heroism and sacrifice and not just because they have received emails calling Obama a Muslim."

Obama is racist against white people. See his "typical white person" statement saying white folks are all racist. Plus his pastor, Jeremiah Wright, is VERY racist and has been Obama's best friend for 25 years.

There are people supporting McCain because of his sacrifice... but there are NOT people supporting him because they SINCERELY believe he would make a better president than Obama. These people have been complaining about McCain being a RINO for years, and now they're warming up to him at the last minute before the election because of..... yeah... let's say it's "because of his heroism and sacrifice."

Sorry, i don't buy that. I have a neighbor whose husband went to vietnam in 1966 and died in a prisoner of war camp. He never met his son who was born that same year. This family never cried out for grandios attention not even from the community. I'm sure every POW gets beaten by their captors, even american captors unfortunately. Heroism for all of them, sacrifice for those who gave their lives...This trekker has got it all wrong.

Was this the same event where people were holding up signs that read " Obama Bin Lyin " 911 affected the whole country not just republicans. Disgraceful. JMart and Mike Allen's buddy Karl Rove probably loved it.

"Obama is a racist wah wah wah bla bla bla." yeah he hates the 1/2 that raised him and gave him a chance to be President of this once great nation. it's whiners like this "Obama is a racist wah wah" that are bringing down the IQ of this once great country while raising the deficit. ignorant inbed hills have eyes MF'ers

comments that Obama hates white people is just plain stupid. Why would he hate his lovely mother that woke up early to make sure he was getting a good education. Or why would he hate his loving grandparents that took to raise him after him father left. To hate the white race would mean that he hate a part of his family that gave so much to him. If you think about it Obama is what America is about a blend of people of all races that exemplfy excellence.

Have any of you people read any of the excerpts from Obama's book? He obviously takes issue with whites. Do a little research educate yourselves, you are buying into the liberal rhetoric. The quote that NH Independent is refering to is in Obama's book, check it out.

***McCain is a wishy washy chicken shiit coward. He gets tough on the stump but was like a yellow belly coward at the debate last week.***Wow, I was really surprised to hear that Jonathan is a Karl Rove 100% tool..JM, get a backbone you spineless Karl Rove Altar boy..http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/10/12/griffin/index.html

%%%Do not be fooled at all. I live 3 miles from the Norfolk Naval Base. It is simply amazing the amount of Obama support here in this area. Barack will win VA in a landslide....BTW, JM, I saw your flattering piece in Salon.com. I feel sorry for you sucking up to such a slimy guy with no integrity. What does that say about you?%%%

you all are calling Obama a racist, he is trying to get the people of America to get together. and another thing How is McCain the only hero because he was captured. A lot of men where captured in Vietnam so what doe sthat make them nothing, they are just as much as a hero McCain.

As I stated before, McCain supporters are good and decent people, with laughter in their hearts, and sunshine in their souls. They're the backbone of America, and they represent optimism and faith in its better forms.

We want a square deal for the nation, but not handouts or redistribution, and a principled but clear-eyed approach to foreign policy and war.

We've found our leader in a great man who has come to learn many of life's tougher lessons under conditions few of us can even imagine, but who has come through those trials with a strength and wisdom this nation sorely needs.

JMart, what do you think when you read posts from your readers who think that you're in the tank for Obama? Do you feel like you missed your mark, or do you just figure that those comments are to be expected since Politico panders to idiots?

Speaking as a former Navy Captain and someone who knew John McCain during his Naval academy days, we already have one mentally average president why do we need another. The only reason McCain graduated was because of his Grandfather and father. He was egotistical and arrogant. This is why he cheated on his wife and bullied weaker politians. Obama is not afraid of a failed hero. Most of you forgot that McCain gave in to torture and sided with the Vietcong in a confession. I knew many men who died rather than give in to the Vietcong's demands. McCains no hero, he's a zero.

Why attack attack attack when J MART just ding his job of reporting. You Liberals always calling names when you don't get your ways. Now that I'm scared that you might ask us to work for nothing to please you..

I came to this site to learn something, anything about what people really think and have to say about this election. Instead I see name calling and hate. Why are people so angry? Do they not have anything of substance to say about the candidates? It does trouble me that Michelle Obama's thesis is being hidden. It bothers me about some of McCain's votes in the Senate. The lack of votes by Obama in the Senate. Have either proven themselves worthy of leading the country and gaining our trust? Why don't we have discussions?

Okay, I admit it, I was once going to vote for Obama but I am clearly in McCain's camp now.
I do appreciate his Service and of COURSE I am glad he gave such a sacrifice for me.
Obama can only wish to be half the man McCain is.
I am a proud McCain voter.

Okay--how many of you really know anything about John McCain? The best article I have found that summarizes other bits and pieces I have read elsewhere, with NO innuendo or lies--only fact--is the Rolling Stone article. If you don't get the mag, you can read it at: http://www.rollingstone.com/news/coverstory/make_believe_maverick_the_real_john_mccain. If you truly think you like him, you will want the real facts. If you think you liked him before 2001, read the real facts.

You may have been in the Navy, but evidentally they didn't teach you about honor, courage, and valor. How can any of us say what we would do under torture, unless we've been there ??
P.S. The Marines would have made you a better man, heck they might have even let you join their brotherhood, that is, if you had survived boot camp !!

Yea, McCain is a really great man, Just ask my daughter who was a congressional page. Mr. McCain would do all he could do to try and fondle her and many other women. Additionally, Mr. McCain made around 37 radio spots against America while he was in prison in Vietnam. He was the only one to do that. He sold out this country just to stop the torture. Not one other U.S. POW held by the North Vietnamese caved in. What a great hero though.

It's not that Obama is a "Muslim." The reason many do not support him, is because he is a Radical Muslim. Big difference.
Obama:
Cousin and close ally of Kenyan Ethnic Cleanser and Murderer Raila Odinga
Studied the Koran at a Madrassa in Indonesia for 4 years as a child.
Renounced his US Citizenship to become a Kenyan for a period in his early teenage years.
Visited Pakistan in 1982 on an Indonesian passport.
Full name Barack Hussein Muhammed Obama.
Best friend and spiritual leader likes to go around saying "G-damned America."
Ties to Jew Hater Louis Farakhan.
But of course, the media writes all this off as "rightwing fantasies." At the same time it's all documented extensively, but the ultra-liberal/socialist media refuses to report on it.
We're living in the dark days of a coming Fascist State. And so many people don't even realize what's coming.

Obama is not a racist. McCain is not a hate mongerer. It's just two guys trying to become president and a bunch of weirdos blogging each other into the ground. Welcome to politics in America. Do your mom's know you write mean things? Probably not.

I have a blog about Palin and before I even had one mention of Obama on it, I have been left comments about being racist and have gotten emails that are just nasty and hateful. I was listening to a lib radio station this morning and they are just stoking the race fire. Is it so hard to believe that people don't like Obama's plans.

On Tuesday, the Anchorage Daily News also printed a blistering editorial on Palin, calling her response to the State Legislature's Troopergate report "Orwellian."
Sarah Palin's reaction to the Legislature's Troopergate report is an embarrassment to Alaskans and the nation.
She claims the report "vindicates" her. She said that the investigation found "no unlawful or unethical activity on my part."
Her response is either astoundingly ignorant or downright Orwellian.
Page 8, Finding Number One of the report says: "I find that Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act."
In plain English, she did something "unlawful." She broke the state ethics law.
Perhaps Gov. Palin has been too busy to actually read the Troopergate report. Perhaps she is relying on briefings from McCain campaign spinmeisters.
That's the charitable interpretation.
